B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More
Another sweet deal on a cellar-worthy assortment of high-scoring Bordeaux values, this treasure trove of irresistible selections includes a stellar range of under-the-radar gems and perennial B-21 favorites all priced to stack by the case. The highlights start with the 96-point 2020 Chateau Grand-Puy Ducasse, "a striking wine, loaded with potential" per Antonio Galloni, and continues with arguarbly one of greatest values in the Left Bank, Montrose's second wine La Dame de Montrose. The 2019 boasts an earthy minerality described as "almost Pauillac like" by Vinous' Neal Martin and declared a "serious Dame de Montrose" by Inside Bordeaux's Jane Anson.
Calling it "one of the most exciting insider wines of the entire Bordeaux region," Anson describes the refined 96-point 2020 Chateau Gloria as "rich, silky and utterly delicious," with the structure to age for another two decades. Collectors shouldn't sleep on the 2019 Pedesclaux.Sourced from vineyards near First Growth Lafite Rothschild, it's "a racy, voluptuous Pauillac" that's "terrific in 2019" according to Galloni, offering "ripe, finely grained tannins and oodles of freshness." Rounding out the highlights, perennial overachiever Marquis D'Alesme hit another QPR homerun in 2020 with "effortless Margaux finesse" that will evolve over the next two decades.
Of course, these are just a few of the spectacular values you'll find below, so don't hesitate to dive deep into the full roster below and even deeper into our full Bordeaux inventory, where you'll find countless overperforming stunners like these at prices that make it easy for any Bordeaux fan to load up big. |

Blackcurrants with crushed stone and slate. Lead pencil. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins and precision. Fantastic length and focus. One of the best Dames I have had. Organically grown grapes. 48% merlot, 46% cabernet sauvignon and 3% petit verdot and cabernet franc.

The 2020 La Dame de Montrose is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of black cherries, mulberries, and juicy plums jump from the glass, followed by suggestions of cracked black pepper, mossy tree bark, and crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate coats the mouth with juicy black fruits and mineral accents, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing on a lingering peppery note.

Soft purple flowers on the nose, quite perfumed and seductive tones with ripe black fruit, peonies, blueberries and plums. Rich and supple, round with mouthwatering acidity - clean and crisp, steely and mineral with a core of crushed stones, pencil lead, slate and liquorice-edged black fruits. Power and concentration - it's plush and potent, but also quite tight with the flavours expanding vertically. Not as generous and openly friendly at this point but so svelte and well worked with a sense of style to it.
